[sections 2 & 48]
PART 1
INTERPRETATION OF THE APPENDICES
1. Species included in the Appendices are referred to—
(a) by the name of the species; or
(b) as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part in
that taxon.
2. The abbreviation "spp." is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.
3. Other references to taxa higher than species are for the purposes of information or classification
only. Common names in English, if known, are included within angle brackets (< >) after scientific
names in the English text of this Ordinance. Common names in Chinese or Chinese translations of
scientific names, if known, are included within angle brackets (< >) after scientific names in the
Chinese text of this Ordinance. The common names included after the scientific names of orders,
families and genera are intended to indicate the species within the order, family or genus concerned
that are included in the Appendices.
4. The following abbreviations are used for plant taxa below the level of species—
(a) "ssp." is used to denote subspecies; and
(b) "var(s)." is used to denote variety (varieties).
5. As none of the species or higher taxa of FLORA included in Appendix I is annotated to the effect
that its hybrids shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article III of the Convention, this
means that artificially propagated hybrids produced from one or more of these species or taxa may be
traded with a certificate of artificial propagation, and that seeds and pollen (including pollinia), cut
flowers, seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile
containers of these hybrids are not subject to the provisions of this Ordinance.
6. The names of the places in parentheses placed against the names of species in Appendix III are
those of the Parties submitting these species for inclusion in that Appendix.
7. When a species is included in one of the Appendices, all parts and derivatives of the species are also
included in the same Appendix unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific parts and
derivatives are included. The symbol (#) followed by a number placed against the name of an
Appendix II species or Appendix III species designates parts or derivatives that are specified in
relation to that species for the purposes of this Ordinance as follows–
#1 Designates all parts and derivatives, except–
(a) seeds, spores and pollen (including pollinia);
(b) seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile
containers;
(c) cut flowers of artificially propagated plants; and
(d) fruits, parts of fruits, and derivatives of fruits, of artificially propagated plants of the genus
Vanilla.
#2 Designates all parts and derivatives, except–
(a) seeds and pollen; and
(b) finished products packaged and ready for retail trade.

stem joints (pads), of naturalized or artificially propagated plants of the genus Opuntia
subgenus Opuntia.
#5 Designates logs, sawn wood and veneer sheets.
#6 Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets and plywood.
#7 Designates logs, wood-chips, powder and extracts.
#8 Designates underground parts (i.e. roots, rhizomes): whole, parts and powdered.
#9 Designates all parts and derivatives except those bearing a label “Produced from Hoodia spp.
material obtained through controlled harvesting and production in collaboration with the CITES
Management Authorities of Botswana/Namibia/South Africa under agreement no. BW/NA/ZA
xxxxxx”.
#10 Designates logs, sawn wood and veneer sheets, including unfinished wood articles used for the
fabrication of bows for stringed musical instruments.

CONVENTION INSTRUMENTS
[sections 2, 4, 19 &
48(1)]
This Schedule sets out, with or without modification, the relevant parts of Convention
instruments that have the force of law in Hong Kong.
PART 1
INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION
I. "Hybrid animal" (雜交動物)
1. Hybrid animals that have in their recent lineage one or more specimens of species included
in Appendix I or Appendix II shall be subject to the provisions of this Ordinance just as if
they were full species, even if the hybrid concerned is not specifically included in the
Appendices.
2. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix I, the
hybrids shall be treated as specimens of species included in Appendix I (and shall be eligible
for the exemptions of Article VII of the Convention when applicable).
3. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix II,
and there are no specimens of an Appendix I species in such lineage, the hybrids shall be
treated as specimens of species included in Appendix II.
4. The words "recent lineage" shall generally be interpreted to refer to the previous four
generations of the lineage.
II. "Appropriate and acceptable destination"
(適當和可接受的目的地)
Where the term "appropriate and acceptable destination" appears in an annotation to the
listing of a species in Appendix II with reference to the export of or international trade in live
animals, this term shall be defined to mean a destination where the relevant authority of the
place of import is satisfied that the proposed recipient of a living specimen is suitably
equipped to house and care for it.
III. "Artificially propagated" (人工培植)
Regarding the definition of "artificially propagated"
1. The following definitions for terms are used—
(a) "under controlled conditions" means in a non-natural environment
that is intensively manipulated by human intervention for the purpose
of plant production. General characteristics of controlled conditions
may include but are not limited to tillage, fertilization, weed and pest
control, irrigation, or nursery operations such as potting, bedding or
protection from weather; and
(b) "cultivated parental stock" means the ensemble of plants grown
under controlled conditions that are used for reproduction, and which
must have been, to the satisfaction of the relevant authority of the
exporting place—
(i) established in accordance with the provisions of the
Convention and relevant domestic laws and in a manner not
detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild; and
(ii) maintained in sufficient quantities for propagation so as to
minimize or eliminate the need for augmentation from the wild,
with such augmentation occurring only as an exception and
limited to the amount necessary to maintain the vigour and
productivity of the cultivated parental stock.
2. The term "artificially propagated" shall be interpreted to refer to plant specimens—
(a) grown under controlled conditions; and
(b) grown from seeds, cuttings, divisions, callus tissues or other plant
tissues, spores or other propagules that either are exempt or have been
derived from cultivated parental stock.
3. Plants grown from cuttings or divisions shall be considered to be artificially propagated
only if the traded specimens do not contain any material collected from the wild.
4. An exception may be granted and specimens deemed to be artificially propagated if grown
from wild-collected seeds or spores only if, for the taxon involved—
(a) (i) establishment of a cultivated parental stock presents significant
difficulties in practice because specimens take a long time to reach
reproductive age, as for many tree species;
(ii) the seeds or spores are collected from the wild and grown
under controlled conditions within a range state, which must
also be the place of origin of the seeds or spores;
(iii) the relevant authority of that range state has determined that
the collection of seeds or spores was legal and consistent with
relevant domestic laws for the protection and conservation of
the species; and
(iv) the relevant authority of that range state has determined
that—
(A) collection of the seeds or spores was not detrimental
to the survival of the species in the wild; and
(B) allowing trade in such specimens has a positive
effect on the conservation of wild populations;
(b) at a minimum, to comply with subparagraph (a)(iv)(A) and (B)
above—
(i) collection of seeds or spores for this purpose is limited in
such a manner such as to allow regeneration of the wild
population;
(ii) a portion of the plants produced under such circumstances is
used to establish plantations to serve as cultivated parental stock
in the future and become an additional source of seeds or spores
and thus reduce or eliminate the need to collect seeds from the
wild; and
(iii) a portion of the plants produced under such circumstances
is used for replanting in the wild, to enhance recovery of
existing populations or to re-establish populations that have
been extirpated; and
(c) in the case of operations propagating Appendix I species for
commercial purposes under such conditions they are registered with the
Secretariat.
Regarding grafted plants
5. Grafted plants shall be recognized as artificially propagated only when both the root-stock
and the graft have been taken from specimens that have been artificially propagated and
grafted specimens consisting of taxa from different Appendices shall be treated as specimens
of the taxon included in the more restrictive Appendix.
Regarding hybrids
6. Hybrids shall be subject to the provisions of this Ordinance even though not specifically
included in the Appendices if one or both of their parents are of taxa included in the
Appendices, unless the hybrids are excluded by a specific annotation in Appendix II or
Appendix III.
7. Regarding artificially propagated hybrids—
(a) any plant species or other taxa listed in Appendix I shall be
annotated in accordance with Article XV of the Convention if the
provisions of this Ordinance relevant to Appendix I are to apply to
artificially propagated hybrids derived from such species or taxa;
(b) if a plant species or other taxon listed in Appendix I is annotated, an
export permit or re-export certificate shall be required for trade in
specimens of all artificially propagated hybrids derived from it; but
(c) artificially propagated hybrids derived from one or more
unannotated Appendix I species or other taxa shall be treated as being
included in Appendix II and entitled therefore to all exemptions
applicable to artificially propagated specimens of species listed in
Appendix II.
Regarding flasked seedlings of Appendix I orchids
8. Flasked seedlings of orchid species listed in Appendix I obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid
media, and transported in sterile containers, shall not be considered as specimens of a
scheduled species for the purposes of this Ordinance if they have been artificially propagated.
IV. "Bred in captivity" (圈養繁殖)
Regarding terminology
1. For specimens of animal species bred in captivity—
(a) "first-generation offspring (F1)" are specimens produced in a
controlled environment from parents at least one of which was
conceived in or taken from the wild;
(b) "offspring of second generation (F2) or subsequent generation (F3,
F4, etc.)" are specimens produced in a controlled environment from
parents that were also produced in a controlled environment;
(c) the "breeding stock" of an operation means the ensemble of the
animals in the operation that are used for reproduction;
(d) "a controlled environment" is an environment that is manipulated
for the purpose of producing animals of a particular species, that has
boundaries designed to prevent animals, eggs or gametes of the species
from entering or leaving the controlled environment, and the general
characteristics of which may include but are not limited to: artificial
housing; waste removal; health care; protection from predators; and
artificially supplied food.
Regarding the term "bred in captivity"
2. The definition provided below shall apply to the specimens bred in captivity of species
included in the Appendices, whether or not they were bred for commercial purposes.
3. The term "bred in captivity" shall be interpreted to refer only to specimens born or
otherwise produced in a controlled environment, and shall apply only if—
(a) the parents mated or gametes were otherwise transferred in a
controlled environment, if reproduction is sexual, or the parents were in
a controlled environment when development of the offspring began, if
reproduction is asexual; and
(b) the breeding stock, to the satisfaction of the competent government
authorities of the exporting place—
(i) was established in accordance with the provisions of the
Convention and relevant domestic laws and in a manner not
detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild;
(ii) is maintained without the introduction of specimens from
the wild, except for the occasional addition of animals, eggs or
gametes, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention
and relevant domestic laws and in a manner not detrimental to
the survival of the species in the wild—
(A) to prevent or alleviate deleterious inbreeding, with
the magnitude of such addition determined by the need
for new genetic material; or
(B) to dispose of confiscated animals; or
(C) exceptionally, for use as breeding stock; and
(iii) has produced offspring of second generation (F2) or
subsequent generation (F3, F4, etc.) in a controlled
environment; or is managed in a manner that has been
demonstrated to be capable of reliably producing secondgeneration offspring in a controlled environment.
Regarding marking of specimens of Appendix I
species bred in captivity
4. A specimen bred in captivity shall be marked in accordance with the provisions on marking
in the Resolutions adopted by the Conference of the Parties and the type and number of the
mark shall be indicated on any Convention certifying document issued in respect of the
specimen.
V. "Readily recognizable part or derivative"
(可輕易地識別的部分或衍生物)
1. The term "readily recognizable part or derivative" shall be interpreted to include any
specimen which appears from an accompanying document, the packaging or a mark or label,
or from any other circumstances, to be a part or derivative of an animal or plant of a species
included in the Appendices, unless such part or derivative is specifically exempted from the
provisions of this Ordinance.
2. Coral sand and coral fragments shall not be considered as specimens of a scheduled species
for the purposes of this Ordinance.
3. In this Schedule—
(a) "coral sand" means coral material not identifiable to the level of
genus and consisting entirely or in part of finely crushed fragments of
dead coral no larger than 2 mm in diameter and which may also
contain, amongst other things, the remains of Foraminifera, mollusc
and crustacean shell, and coralline algae;
(b) "coral fragments" means unconsolidated fragments of broken
finger-like dead coral and other coral material between 2 and 30 mm in
diameter, which are not identifiable to the level of genus;
(c) "coral rock" means hard consolidated coral material not identifiable
to the level of genus but identifiable to the level of order, larger than 3
cm in diameter, formed of fragments of dead coral and which may also
contain cemented sand, coralline algae and other sedimentary rocks,
and includes live rock and substrate, but does not include dead coral;
(d) "live rock" means pieces of coral rock to which are attached live
specimens of invertebrate species and coralline algae not included in
the Appendices and which are transported moist, but not in water, in
crates;
(e) "substrate" means pieces of coral rock to which are attached
invertebrates (of species not included in the Appendices) and which are
transported in water like live corals;
(f) "dead coral" means pieces of coral identifiable to the level of
species or genus, which are dead when exported, but which may have
been alive when collected, and in which the structure of corallites (the
skeleton of the individual polyp) is still intact;
